No rules like that in Ohio. I don't carry much when hunting phez, rabbit or even quail, but I will carry boxes for dove. Limit is 15 a day and I throw out a lot of lead for those little birds.

Yes, my brittany is chipped. I have too much time invested in him to take the chance not to. I also have "reward" written on his dog tag...just in case.

I feel your pain. I had a negative run in with a brittany rescue group. Way over the top. I can work, raise a family but they don't want us to raise a dog the way we know how to? As others have said, no wonder some of the rescue agencies have trouble placing dogs.

I had an invisible fence along with an e collar for my brittany and found that I didn't need the fence. When we leave the house the dog has his e collar on and I don't let him out without me so it seemed redundant to have both systems. I ended up giving it to my neighbor.

You have gotten plenty of good advice from others already. I have a 1 year old Brittany and found with him lots of verbal praise works great. I wouldn't call him "soft" but I have a buddy who can't raise his voice/swear around his Brittany without upsetting the dog and having him sulk. Still a great...

My wife never wanted to own a mini-van. We tried a few options before it(Subaru forrester for one) but with three young daughters, lots of traveling, dogs, etc it seems to work for our family.

Usually 1-4 hrs. Hard to limit in Ohio, but does depend on what I am hunting. Not many upland birds left around me, except for dove.

I have a 49lb Brittany and use a medium size crate and it works fine for him.

Not many Brittanys around where I live, and most follow up with that is a spaniel right? I explain the difference between a pointing dog and a flusher. My wife is sick of me explaining it, rolls her eyes and walks away. I say I am trying to educate people, and my wife thinks people who don't hunt do...

I may be a little late to the discussion but my Brittany weighted in at 49 pounds yesterday at the vet. Overall, very healthy and the vet commented that he was obviously a working dog. For me, I simply hunt my dog, he has always been able to keep up with me and has not tired out even plowing through...

Hello, my name is Josh and I live in eastern central Ohio. Have hunted for a bit but wife finally let me get a dog(after 17 years) and this fall got a Brittany male that I have been training for pheasant, etc. I have to say that I enjoy hunting with my dog much more than by myself. Training him myse...
